Chapter 1038: A Loophole
Shang Kui didn't expect that Yu Jiu was still injured.
He asked someone to check and found that Yu Jiu was not lying. There were indeed large areas of whip marks on Yu Jiu's back, and they looked like fresh injuries.
Shang Kui was not interested in why Yu Jiu was injured, he asked directly.
"Where did you keep Doctor Fang and Mr. Wen?"
Yu Jiu smiled wryly: "Guess what."
Shang Kui narrowed his eyes: "You have already fallen into our hands, have you ever thought about performing well and redeeming yourself?"
Yu Jiu continued to fake smile: "Yeah, anyway, I'm already like this, I still don't care about my merits and demerits, you can kill me or chop me up as you please.
But I have to remind you.
Jian Shujie's betrayal caused such a big fuss that the news must have reached the ears of the leader of Tianmen.
In revenge, they would definitely kill Fang Wujiu and Wen Jiucheng as soon as possible.
If you delay any longer, you will have no choice but to collect their bodies."
At the end of his speech, he raised the corner of his mouth and deliberately revealed a provocative sneer.
Shang Kui stared at him for a moment, but instead of being irritated, he laughed along.
"Do you really think we can't find Doctor Fang and Mr. Wen?"
Yu Jiu’s expression paused.
The smile on his face quickly disappeared, and he said grimly: "It's useless even if you ask Jian Shujie. He can't possibly know where Fang Wujiu and Wen Jiucheng are being held."
He is telling the truth.
Whether Jian Shujie was imprisoned in the death row or was taken out of the death row, Jian Shujie's head was covered with a cloth bag.
He couldn't see anything with his eyes and couldn't guess the exact location of the death row based on the route.
Shang Kui said, "Don't you understand? Since Mr. Wen dared to break into the county governor's mansion alone, he must have made all the necessary preparations. Even if he was caught, he would leave clues for us to find him."
He raised his hand and gestured, and soon a Yulin Guard came over leading a big dog.
This dog was specially trained in the county government office and was usually used to help capture and search for criminals. Shang Kui specially borrowed it from the county government office.
Shang Kui took out a sachet, put it in front of the dog's nose, and said.
“This sachet was left to me by Mr. Wen.
The sachet contains some special medicinal materials, and the fragrance it emits is extremely light, which ordinary people can hardly smell.
But this taste is very special to animals.
The clothes Mr. Wen wore were soaked in the same medicinal herbs.
The fragrance will last for at least half a month."
As soon as Shang Kui finished speaking, the big dog barked twice in one direction and then ran in that direction.
A small team of Yulin Guards followed closely behind.
Watching their backs quickly disappearing into the distance, Yu Jiu couldn't even fake a smile.
In fact, when Wen Jiucheng was imprisoned, Yu Jiu had people search Wen Jiucheng's body. They took away all the belongings on Wen Jiucheng's body and only left him with a set of clothes.
Who would have thought that the most crucial thing is precisely that seemingly ordinary piece of clothing?
There is always a loophole!
Shang Kui did not give Yu Jiu much time to regret, and had someone knock Yu Jiu unconscious and take him away on the spot.
In the dark death cell.
Wen Jiucheng still maintained his sitting posture with his back against the wall.
My chest ached and my face turned frighteningly pale.
Just then, Old Wu walked into the death row with a strong man.
Both men were holding knives in their hands, with vicious looks on their faces, and it was obvious at first glance that they had no good intentions.
Old Wu asked: "Should we solve them one by one? Or should we do it all at once?"
The other sturdy man seemed a little impatient and frowned.
"Let's do it together, hurry up, we don't have much time, let's finish it quickly and leave!"
Old Wu simply responded, "Okay, you on the left and I'll be on the right."
He used the key to open the cell on the left, where Fang Wujiu was imprisoned.
The other sturdy man opened the cell on the right, in which was imprisoned Wen Jiucheng.
As soon as Fang Wujiu saw Old Wu come in, he immediately took two steps back and spoke quickly.
"I know your name is Lao Wu. Don't be impulsive. As long as you can let us go, I can promise to forgive the past and I can even persuade the court to let you go."
When Old Wu heard this, he couldn't help but slow down his pace.
He has already made his mark with Jian Shujie, and Jian Shujie will definitely have people hunt him down to the ends of the earth. Even if he escapes from Fufeng City today, he will have to live in hiding and will never be able to appear in public openly again.
If the imperial court could really let him go, he wouldn't have to live a precarious life on the run.
The temptation was too great for him.
The sturdy man in the cell opposite heard Fang Wujiu's words, and immediately turned to look at Lao Wu and cursed him viciously.
"He was deliberately fooling you to buy time, and you actually believed his lies? Did your brain get caught in the door when you left?!"
Old Wu's face turned red after being scolded, and he replied unhappily.
"I know he's a liar!"
After saying this, he swung his knife at Fang Wujiu in anger.
Fang Wujiu's hands and feet were shackled with chains, and the acupuncture points on his body were also sealed. He was unable to use his internal energy and could only dodge by relying on the inertia developed from years of martial arts training.
He dodged left and right, nimbly avoiding Old Wu's attacks. Old Wu was so angry that he cursed and the hostility in his eyes became more and more intense.
In comparison, Wen Jiucheng in the cell opposite was in a much more miserable state.
Not only was he unable to use his internal energy, but he was also injured, and every time he moved he gasped in pain.
This made his movements extremely slow.
Soon he was kicked to the ground by the sturdy man, and his injuries worsened. The pain made him feel dizzy and he had no strength to move. He could only watch the blade in the sturdy man's hand chop down at him.
Fortunately, Fang Wujiu arrived in time.
He ran over from the opposite cell and hit the strong man hard with his body.
The sturdy man was knocked back and almost fell down.
Old Wu has also caught up with him.
He and the strong man joined forces to attack Fang Wujiu into a corner.
There is no way to retreat when there is no wine.
The blade in Old Wu's hand chopped down head-on!
Fang Wujiu raised his hands and the metal chains were straightened with force.
The blade hit the chain hard, creating a few sparks.
A gap was cut in the chain.
Fang Wujiu raised his hand and used the chain to tightly wrap the blade in Old Wu's hand.
The other strong man immediately drew his knife and slashed at Fang Wujiu's neck!
Fang Wujiu grabbed the chain tightly and swung it violently.
Old Wu held on to the handle of the knife and refused to let go. He was immediately knocked back two steps by the powerful force and happened to hit the blade in the sturdy man's hand.
Old Wu's right arm was cut and he screamed in pain.
The sturdy man had to control his strength and deflect the blade.
Old Wu yelled, "Don't you have eyes?!"
The sturdy man retorted angrily: "How did I know you would bump into me?!"
Suddenly, there was a loud barking of a dog outside.
Woof woof woof!!
Then there was a burst of hurried footsteps, the sound was getting closer and closer.
Obviously, some people were rushing towards the death row, and there were quite a few of them!
